I like writing strong women, because as a straight male, there's nothing more attractive to me than a strong girl.

Rigidity is the enemy of acting. And I think that people who stay up all night focusing on every beat they're going to do the next day always end up getting screwed.

No one has a resume that they are 100% comfortable with, nor does anyone have a life that they are 100% comfortable with.

I have a maple leaf tattoo over my heart, quite literally, and my two favorite things on Earth are being in Canada and making movies.

You always want to try and evolve an art form. It's not a very humble ambition; it reeks of arrogance. If you can, you want to try to do something that people haven't done before and give people something that they haven't seen.

My vanity and narcissism will never let me go too far.

You grow up skinny in Canada; in working-class Montreal, you're definitely the underdog.
